'''Mobile application'''

A '''mobile application''', also referred to as a '''mobile app''' or simply an '''app''', is a [[software application]] designed to run on a [[mobile device]] such as a [[smartphone]] or [[tablet computer]]. Mobile applications frequently serve to provide users with similar services to those accessed on PCs. Apps are generally small, individual software units with limited function. This use of software has been popularized by [[Apple Inc.]] and its [[App Store (iOS)|App Store]], which sells thousands of applications for the [[iPhone]], [[iPad]] and [[iPod Touch]].

==History==

The first mobile apps were introduced by [[IBM]] in 2003 for the use in [[business]] productivity and [[information retrieval]], including [[email]], [[calendar]], [[contacts]], [[stock market]] and [[weather]] information. However, the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as [[mobile games]], [[factory automation]], [[GPS]] and [[location-based services]], [[banking]], [[order-tracking]], and [[ticket purchases]]. This has led to a large number of apps being created for the [[Google Play]] and the [[Apple App Store]].

==Development==

Mobile application development requires use of specialized integrated development environments. Mobile apps are first tested within the development environment using [[emulator]]s and later subjected to [[field testing]]. Emulators provide an inexpensive way to test applications on mobile phones to which developers may not have physical access.

==Types of apps==

There are three main types of mobile apps: '''native apps''', '''web apps''', and '''hybrid apps'''. Each of these types has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
